I, too, am honored to have been invited to join this group. I love the photo of the boot on the rock. I read of Sil's regret about taking the bus to Finisterre, but time constraints do not allow me to walk; I will be taking the bus. I love being part of the community of pilgrims. I'll be walking segments of the Camino the last two weeks of May.

I'm honored to have been invited to join this group. I traveled all over Galicia last summer and met many pilgrims who continued on to Cap Finisterre there to burn their boots in a symbolic gesture of a new beginning. See the picture.

Here begins your Journey
Now begins the Day.
With one step upon the Road
Your soul is on its Way.

I think it's a sign! I had set to spend the next year saving to do the Camino next September with my boyfriend (i'm in Costa Rica on a 3rd world salary and flights to Spain are expensive!). I just got a bonus today and stumbled upon this group. I studied abroad in Santiago de Compostela one summer in college and I think it would be the perfect cyclical epic adventure :) kudos to those who have gone before me, I'll keep checking back for advice!

I think you are referring to the ruins of the convent San Anton which has a 14thC arch across the road. The complex was in use until 1791 and was then abandoned. There is now a very basic, quite spiritual pilgrim refuge in the ruins.

You are of course right, Sylvia -- the French Road it was. You know, one thing that I've been trying to remember for years is the name of place which left me with a very arresting memory -- I saw the road running through a ruined medieval archway. It was, I think, somewhere in New Castile but I could be wrong. Does this seem familiar to anybody?
Comment by Sylvia Nilsen on October 10, 2009 at 2:33pm
Ah - David - you drove the Jacobean route par excellence, the Camino Frances. I have walked it twice from Roncesvalles and it certainly is a magical path to follow. I would love to see some of your photographs!
Abrazo,
Sil

I drove one of the Spain routes for an article in 2004 or 2005, I forget which, and it was an amazing experience, from the lovely little beginning in Roncesvalles through Pamplona, Estella, Villafranca de Bierzo, León, Santo Domingo de la Calzada, O Cebreiro, and other towns, cities, and hamlets. I'm not religious but still found it incredibly moving, and it gave me some of the most powerful memories I have of travel in Spain (which is saying a lot, because I know the country very well). I would love to dig up my pictures and post them here, so please stay tuned...
